Advice for a new analog system
there is no way (OK, 1 in a 10,000) you will buy your first turntable for 30+K and get the best value. You need to train your ear, learn what you like, experiment with different types and approaches.  I would start with a used Pro-Ject or Rega, d...

New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
@singintheblues that’s sadly the case with a lot of electronics, Ironically, the US is often cheaper, economies of scale. Little comfort: a box of strawberry they grow 10 miles from me cost $2 more here than 2,500 miles away in the last village i...

End Game Turntable suggestions

Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
